First off, never work with Megan Fox again. The only thing positive I could say for Transformers 3 was he kicked that skanky anti-Semite out on the curb. She's a talentless hack, and her career for the most part died - so why bring her back? Especially as a redheaded reporter who, by all accounts, should be played by an actress who has an IQ bigger than her measurements.
Second, stop making adaptations overloaded with CGI, and go back to making action movies like Bad Boys and The Rock. Michael Bay was actually, if not good, undeniably entertaining making films like those. Hell, I'd be willing to see him dpo the next Die Hard movie if it was anything like The Rock - he'd certainly be an improvement over the nightmarish hacks they put behind the helm of A Good Day to Die Hard.
Honestly, I don't HATE Michael Bay, I'm more horribly disappointed. There are a lot more directors who are far more hackish than he is. His problem was that of all his movies, Transformers was the one that made him billions and made him, for the most part, critic proof. becoming critic proof very rarely works out to a filmmakers benefit, let alone when it's clear he can basically wipe his bum with celluloid and still make a billion dollars. As a director of cheesy, over the top action movies, he's decent. As the director of any major adaptation with loads of CGI and a budget of a few hundred million dollars, he not surprisingly went of the deep end, and falls further with every successful effort.
Maybe if TMNT bombs, it will be a wake up call. I wouldn't keep my fingers crossed though.
